I chatted with the People who built and shipped these things to the USA and they flat out said the cost to replace and ship the touch screen was very high , it was just cheaper to by another unit.

I have not found any manufacture in the USA that sales a replacement touch screen. so the answer is use a laptop mouse and all works fine.. and never buy a bargain again!!!

Same thing happened to me, and was told the same. I am using mine again by using a mouse.
